I
was there at this beautiful place with wonderful Tropical Rainforest few weeks
ago.Mount Wollumbin as the aboriginals call it and later named as Mt Warning is
a mountain in the Tweed Range in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales,
Australia, was formed from a volcanic plug of the now-gone Tweed Volcano.The
Mountain is about 1100 Mts and trekking both ways takes about 4 to 5 Hours.

Not
for the weak hearted (I felt) but, I did see some Senior people coming down from the
Mountain. Everyone's reaction was that - it's beautiful, wonderful and amazing
view from the top.I did not go really far because, my intent of the visit to
the mountain was that of curiosity and let us see how it looks like. Though, I
was disappointed that once we start trekking that from the base of the
Mountain, you cannot get the whole view of the Mountain. So, the best view is
when you are on Top or driving towards it.Once I started climbing the Mountain,
I somehow felt the place to be a sacred or spiritual vibration. When, my son
one time hit a tree trunk with a smaller stick that he picked up,the words
spontaneously came out of my mouth. "Son, Be respectful to the trees and
everything in this place".Later I learnt that this is a sacred Mountain
for the Bundjalung people, and to many of the other Australian Aboriginal
tribes.Anyway, I was travelling with my family and running short of time, did
not go long.Me and my eldest son msut have climbed for about a Kilometer or so
and decided to return back because, we have people waiting for us at the base
of the Mountain. Anyway, this was a mysterious and interesting Mountain to visit.
